Yashchykove, Urban settlement in Alchevsk urban hromada, Ukraine.
Yashchykove is an urban-type settlement in the Alchevsk urban hromada in eastern Ukraine. The location sits between larger towns and farming villages, blending residential streets with industrial sites and open countryside across a flat landscape.
The settlement was founded during the Soviet period as a planned community to support industrial factories and infrastructure projects in the region. It was deliberately built to house workers employed at nearby manufacturing facilities.
Residents of Yashchykove maintain a mixture of urban and rural traditions, combining industrial work patterns with small-scale agricultural activities in their daily lives.
The settlement connects to neighboring communities through bus services that reach the main administrative center of Alchevsk. Visitors can board at central stops during daytime hours when services run regularly throughout the week.
Following Ukraine's 2024 administrative reforms, Yashchykove transitions from its Soviet-era urban-type settlement designation to a new classification within the national framework.
